the u.s. military is reportedly waiting for the green light to intervene and see where it would be a plan to get moving naval forces closer and sending another missile carriage to the region. as the yuan pushes foreign intervention into an alleged mass chemical attack near damascus the european states blaming as son despite a lot of evidence. also spying for cash major tech companies are accused of taking handouts from the u.s. intelligence and exchange for help in its sweeping surveillance worldwide. and about your car is to get some real recognition of the german government decides that some of the money based on easily legal and private means of payment.

international news and comment live from moscow this is with me here national power thanks for joining us the u.s. is raging for a possible missile strike on syria and reports say preparations are already under way the phones are going to is moving its naval forces closer ensuring president obama has military options available his money action following and alleged chemical attack which is being blamed on syria's government three destroyers are currently deployed in the mediterranean and according to reports a fourth is on its way all of them are carrying up to three hundred cruise missiles which is more than enough to actually rapidly for balance to order a strike and let's not forget about the nature maritime group functioning in the region which is four which is for more ships and if we take a look at the mainland the u.s.

and its western allies military presence around syria is also significant so it looks like washington is seriously weighing military options despite obama expressing cautious those over an intervention at the same time she's middle east correspondent policies following this creation and the reaching. syrian state television is reporting that syrian soldiers found traces of chemical agents off to entering tunnels used by rebel fighters in a damascus suburb empty shells that they found had markings on their methods that they had been made in saudi arabia just a reminder that saudi arabia is very mentally opposed to the syrian president bashar assad and all these soldiers started suffocating in ambulances had to be sent to the scene to assist them syrian television is also reporting that these soldiers found and that are used to kill the intoxication this comes as it's moved its navy closer to syria we are hearing reports that the u.s.

navy is making initial preparations should the green light be given for america to launch military action inside syria the american president barack obama certainly is mulling over this the defense department has been tossed with giving him new facts and new information with obama saying that any kind of considerations need to be made with caution and with wariness he's also said that any kind of military operation inside syria would be both costly and difficult this comes off to reports of a huge attack earlier this week that saw the involvement of chemical weaponry we have heard reports that anywhere between dozens and one thousand three hundred people were killed in that new attack there has been lots of unverified footage making the rounds online we've seen soldiers of people sort of being at the mouth people suffocating all of the pointing to the possible use of saturn gets some of these photos online do show empty shells it does seem to point to the fact that this

latest attack had this weapon we fired from rebel held areas all of this as u.n. inspectors are inside syria they arrived last sunday they carrying out investigations on some thirteen hours of the ports of chemical we're kind of message today the. you in chief of the farm and arrived in the country and the u.n. team has now been tasked with trying to reach the scene of the meat of the report of tad and damascus has indicated that they giving them full support and they will be helping them in whatever way they can but the reasons why the fighting on the go in that area despite no confirmation of reports that the syrian government carried out a chemical attack international pressure on assad is increasing the french foreign minister insists all indications suggest the government was behind the massacre and wants to respond with force if delegations are proven the u.k. foreign secretary william hague also said it was a chemical a tongue by the assad regime and has

a similar voice from sweden its foreign minister claimed he had a hard time coming to any conclusion other than that deadly chemicals were used by the regime's forces while turkey joined in calling for the necessary response toward its land as the crime against humanity this as a rather cold america and indispensable nation in stabilizing the middle east analyst binoy can't log has written extensively on syria so all the signs are pointing to an intervention. there is a general sentiment towards some form of intervention which might come in the form of a tactical strike on the use of cruise missiles although there is still reservation us to the extent that such an intervention will take at this point it will be probably a minor one with the use of tactical weapons without more the united states still remains rather bruised by involvement in afghanistan and in iraq so if they are restored to being involved and i certainly do not see

a commitment of ground forces of any. sort what unfortunately i do see happen is the destabilizing of the situation so that the united states does take this route of intervention it's a point to make that. moves are being made to initiate some strike. whether it's going to come in light of the u.n. investigation or whether it's going to come in light of anything else for means to be seen but i think it's fair point to say the united states is putting the pieces into play for a possible strike. two hundred days of hunger and suffering and gone time and about three minutes long this is haitian is like at the notorious u.s. prison after nearly seven months of a hunger strike by the inmate that. the national security agency allegedly paid the bills for google yahoo microsoft and facebook in return for helping and to spy online this information comes. from whistleblower edward

snowden and is the first reported evidence of financial dealings like this are in a pardon as mine. the so-called pay to play relationship between the u.s. national security agency and the internet companies reportedly began after the foreign intelligence surveillance court here in the us known as rules in october two thousand and eleven that some of the n.s.a.'s activities were surprise unconstitutional and violated the fourth amendment now the judgment which was declassified on wednesday by the obama administration found that the agency was unable to separate purely domestic communications from foreign traffic now while the n.s.a. reportedly began working on a solution to the process that had been ruled illegal tech companies including google yahoo microsoft and facebook allegedly incurred cost certification demands now the fisa court is required to sign annual certifications that provide the legal framework for the n.s.a.

surveillance operations but in the wake of the court's judgment certifications were only being renewed on a temporary basis the entire process reportedly costed prizm participants millions of dollars to implement each successful extension and those costs according to u.s. documents were covered by an arm of the n.s.a. known as special source operations according to the guardian newspaper n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden has described special source operations as the crown jewel of the agency that handles all surveillance programs that rely on corporate partnerships with telecoms and internet providers to access communication data this revelation is being considered evidence that a financial relationship between tech companies and the n.s.a. has existed and as the guardian newspaper put it the disclosure that taxpayers' money was used to cover the company's compliance costs reeses new questions surrounding the relationship between silicon valley and the n.s.a.

now the guardian reached out to the alleged prism participants for a response about receiving financial reimbursements from the u.s. government now yahoo spokesperson admits that the come. has requested reimbursement quote consistent with the law facebook responded by saying it has never received any compensation in connection with responding to government data requests google did not answer any of the specific questions that were asked by the guardian newspaper and microsoft declined to give a response on the record so not only are we now learning that taxpayer dollars may have financed government programs that broke down barriers that protected citizens privacies the companies that are listed as prism participants are still denying any involvement. in the n.s.a. meanwhile admitted some of its employees berger rules on purpose was spying on american citizens and you can read all about the agency coming clean on our website . nearly seven months of refusing to aid being force

fed and alleged abuse with no end in sight that's been the daily experience for many gone time of the inmates since february third protest has gone on for two hundred days now but president obama is still storming a shutting down the facility at sea world the situation is like right now the u.s. run camp and there are one hundred sixty six inmates that the military such as seven are still refusing food to indefinite detention many of the prisoners haven't even gone to trial and overhaul will cleared for release years ago u.s. taxpayers are picking out the ever increasing top for all of that is the prize timed to for every detainees two point seven million dollars annually of with such times higher than similar costs of the most expensive domestic prison in the u.s. and add it all up and you get nearly hof a billion dollars per year coming out of citizens' pockets u.s.

public defender carlos warner frequently talks to begone tunnel inmates that he represent and he told my colleague bill daughter what's going on of the company and why it remains. the words that i hear from the camp are just as bad as they've always been suffering to feeding people not getting along no communication with the military so although the military is telling us that the numbers have gone down that's not the story that we're hearing we're hearing that again there's still that this horrible suffering going on and this is the two hundred day of this and we've heard accounts of her referred to to treatment by the prison stuff including allegations of sexual abuse is anybody actually investigating these allegations now sexual abuse i think goes around these searches these growing searches that they began and they did these searches obviously to keep my clients from talking to me in terms of investigation i don't think anybody's investigating that the camp says that we're doing this for security purposes but that's preposterous when you

consider that the client isn't even seeing a lawyer the client's with soldiers talking on the phone entire time in the present obama hasn't kept his promise to close the prison it cost millions during a time of budget cuts then the states will lose to make sandwiches for relief so what will it take to finally close down guantanamo guantanamo is a political animal it's run by the in a phobia here in the united states and it's just going to take a lot of hard work like people not only like people like me but but some people in washington in order to close it and right now you don't see that the president has the authority to transfer these individuals now that he can do it under the current law with no exceptions and he's choosing not to do so and he's even said that there are several countries that are ready willing able to take these individuals we know there's eighty six of them that are cleared for release the president has done nothing on that yet. but had that natural congressi bitcoin is gaining recognition
